Who can solve personal problems?

If a divorce happens in a Christian family, do they blame Christ?
If a divorce happens in a Hindu family, do they blame Lord Krishna?
If a divorce happens in a Muslim family, do they blame the Prophet?
Personal problems need to be dealt with at the personal level. Nobody can solve our problems except ourselves.

Sahaj Marg is trying to offer to this world a simple Heartfulness meditation practice that promotes individual peace and potentially leading to peace on earth and goodwill among men. Masters of SRCM, Shri Ram Chandra Mission, Lalaji Saheb, Babuji, Chariji, and the current Master Kamlesh D. Patel are working tirelessly for this simple cause with a noble intention.

It is quite common to find our life partners in the natural environment of a church, temple communities, work, schools and colleges. At times from bars!! But the likelihood of getting a quality partner from a fun club is very rare, though it can not be ruled out for the sake of a discussion. But the place and the circumstances determine the interest alignment. However good a start, it does not guaranty a happy life hereafter. This requires constant work and growth. A couple that grows in a marriage stays with it. Similar an employee that grows in a job gets promoted. A student grows in a school gets to graduate. So marriage is yet another class in the school of life. It is meant for the couple to see each other in comfort and ease and support each other to grow. From a long list of aspirations, ambitions, aptitudes and attitudes, the couple should have enough compatible and complementary items and some uniquely different. If the main goals, aspirations and interests are at divergence no marriage will last long especially in the modern times!!

As far as Sahaj Marg is concerned, it is yet social place where couples find each other. At times, by themselves and go to a Guru or guide and get their marriages solemnized. At times, the community of elders, parents suggest and the couples agree and the Guru performs their marriages. Very rarely the Guru finds the match. All in all, the statistics of good marriages in Sahaj Marg will be a lot more than the ones failed, compared to a marriage made in a church or in schools or at work.

So there is no point in blaming the schools, work, Church or parents or Sahaj Marg for any failed marriages. It is quite childish to do so. Unless one takes personal responsibility no change or growth or good marriage is possible.

Very insightful comments. In general, we blame others for failures. But, unfortunately, as the saying goes, when one finger points at the other, 3 other fingers are pointing back in me. But, another unique issue here is, if we fail in office or school, we can make up, but it is very difficult to mend a failed marriage.

Anyways, instead of thinking of the negatives, it is time to turn around and look at the positive side of things. Sahaj Marg method of Heart based meditation precisely does that. It gives us an ability to look within, find answers from within, find energy and courage from within to face myself and this world in a positive, acceptable sort of way. The Master of Sahaj Marg, Kamlesh Patel, is embarking on his journey to help those interested seekers to learn this simple aspect of meditation through the organization of Shri Ram Chandra Mission, SRCM.

Everytime you point one finger at others, several more are pointing towards you as they say. We all have to learn to be tolerant of our own shortcomings first before becoming tolerant to others amidst all this conversation around intolerance. Hope to meet Shri Kamlesh D. Patel sometimes at one of the ashrams of Shri Ram Chandra Mission.
